Slaves in 18th Century Art and Literature

 

Slavery was a heavily debated topic in England during the 18th century, but the discourse was not limited to coffee shops or Parliament. To be sure, oral arguments were frequent and influential, but the influence of both art and literature should not be forgotten. We have provided a gallery in which you can experience an entirely different dimension of commentary through prints, literature, and letters. Choose your forte below by clicking on William Hogarth for artistic representations, or on the book for a myriad of written works.
